Fade

by Is.


Echoes in a corridor

Memories, and nothing more

That fade away...

And so she turns to see his face

But when she looks, she's lost her place

To fade away...


And now he waits beyond her grasp

A fleeting moment in her past

So fate will have its laugh at last...


One more waltz that won't be played

On more piper to be paid

One more dancer on her grave

She's Fortune's Fool for one more day

And so she bleeds

And so she fades...


Dreams of summer afternoons

In Winter snow and icy tombs

That fade away...

One touch would break her reverie

And yet she watches silently

He fades away...


And life becomes a tragic farce

Of tattered sleeves and wounded hearts

As they both fade and fall apart.
